Take your child on a little online adventure! My first children’s book, Yaroslava’s Flowers, has now been made into a short video with audio narration! If you as a parent need a little break and want your child to be occupied in a positive, inspiring, and joyful way, or if you want to join in the fun as well, Yaroslava’s Flowers is now available on my blog website for you to enjoy in all its animated beauty and life!

This video is offered free to everyone, so please watch, give feedback, and most importantly SHARE it with your friends and family and other people or organizations who would like to support a Movement for more Positive and Beautiful Storytelling in our world, where the Spirit and Soul of our Life can be felt and expressed in all its Diversity and Beauty. The world needs this now more than ever, so you can help in a small way by sharing this story with everyone you know on Facebook, Twitter, other social media, or any other way you wish (you can even tell me about your sharing if you wish!).

Thank you for watching the video, reading the book, and participating with me in creating a more Beautiful World of Storytelling! Watch for more story videos on my Youtube Channel (YogaStories for Children) in the future, including in other languages. And remember to share your comments, and also any comments your children may have about the story!

If you have children who love to hear beautiful stories, I invite you and your children to watch my new series of videos, Stories for the Child Soul. I will be reading stories that I have written which are meant to inspire children and adults with spiritual and Soul-ful messages.

In this first video below, I will be reading from my new children’s book Yaroslava’s Flowers, which you can also order HERE. It is a magical story about a girl who loves flowers so much that she can hear them speak to her. When the Flower Spirit appears to her and gives her a bag of magic seeds, she embarks on a Journey of the Spirit to discover the healing and transforming power of flowers. As Yaroslava brings new life to the places and people around her, she also discovers more about herself – through the power of flowers!

Please share it with other children in your life, or friends who have children, and feel free to share your feedback!….Wishing you Peace and Light!

Flowers hold a great spiritual Power and Truth….This is the essential message of my new children’s book, Yaroslava’s Flowers, which is now available for all children and all those with a Child Heart. It is a story that inspires everyone to experience the spiritual magic of Flowers, Nature, and Life, and how we each have the power to transform the world around us, and Within us!

“Yaroslava’s Flowers is a story for all children and anyone with a youthful Heart. Yaroslava is a little girl who loves flowers so much that she can hear them speak to her. When the Flower Spirit appears to her and gives her a bag of magic seeds, she embarks on a Journey of the Spirit to discover the healing and transforming power of flowers. As Yaroslava brings new life to the places and people around her, she also discovers more about herself – through the power of flowers!”

Children’s stories especially have such power to sow seeds of wisdom and light, beauty and love, into their lives. This is what I have endeavored to do with my children’s story and all my other writing. I hope you will give this beautiful little book the opportunity to inspire your children and the children in your life….even those who may have forgotten that they still have an Inner Child deep within them!

The book is now available to order HERE, where you can also see previews, so please share it with others in your life. I will need YOUR help to share this book with others around the world, so please consider helping in the following ways:

Buy a copy of the book for you, your children, your friends or family, your local library or school, or just a special Child in your life who deserves a special book which shares the Magic and Spirit of flowers, nature, and humanity.

Share with me the contact information for any local independent bookstores, alternative spiritual or metaphysical stores, flower shops or other artsy shops in your area, or talk with them directly about carrying the book.

I wish to thank the lovely illustrator, Pankhuri Singh (www.awaraaart.wordpress.com), who created all the beautiful illustrations and imagery for the story, as well as the Designer of the book, Krupa Jhaveri (www.sankalpajourneys.com), who pieced together all the images and text to create the wonderful book that exists now.

Thank you very much for your wonderful support and I wish all of you and the children around the world lots of Love and Light and the Magical Beauty of Flowers…… A Friend to the Child Soul in All, Noel

In a world where we speak about Peace more than ever in our history, we must remember that in the past there have been countless efforts, attempts, movements, events, individuals, and even simple kind Moments of Life that have brought us to this point in time where the global conscience can hold such an Aspiration and Vision.

Among these movements in history has been the work of the Peace Corps, started in the early 1960’s by President Kennedy. My father was one of those first pioneering individuals who was sent forth into the world to be a Peace Corps Volunteer during its first year, and he has recently self-published an autobiographical book about his early life, entitled The Making of a Peace Corps Volunteer: From Maine to Thailand.

Roger Parent with students in Udorn, Thailand, 1962

This is his personal true story about living and growing up in rural Maine, where he explores his childhood and shares stories of his experiences as a youth as he grew into the young man who chose to take a leap and join the the new-born Peace Corps organization to serve others in Thailand, where he connected with the people of a new country and foreign culture. It is a story which exemplifies the Spirit that is necessary to build the Peace in this world that we so eagerly seek: the Spirit of Connection with our world’s diversity, the Spirit of acceptance and tolerance, the Spirit of learning and growing beyond one’s small personal world to widen one’s experience and perception of the world around oneself through volunteering and service to others.

Please support this book and the story it has to share by visiting my father’s website and consider purchasing this book, whether it be for yourself, a friend of family member, or donate a copy to your local school or library to allow others to share in its message.
